At the very top: California’s redwood coast. We guess West Coastis really the best coast after all — have you seen those magnificent 20-stories-high beauties and the gorgeous Pacific coast beaches? It stretches 175 miles from the southern Humboldt County line to the Oregon border and includes quaint picturesque towns like Eureka and Crescent City. And if the landscape isn’t enough, the local breweries and cozy coffee shops you pass along the way are definitely worth a visit, too.

Best of all, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Save the Redwoods League, entry to 40 redwood state parks is free for anyone on every second Saturday each month.

Hey, if we looked that good at 2,000 years old, we’d deserve an award, too…
